Wall Street Journal online - social media and tools icons

Post by gumbydude »

I subscribe to the WSJ Online. Each article typically carries a number of vertically arranged icons in the upper left, with links to social media platforms and tools such as save, print and email. They are invisible unless ADP is paused. I can't figure out which filter is blocking them.

Suggestions?

Are you using the social list ?
Are you using adblock plus or adblock ? Here it's about ABP.

I can confirm this problem and submitted an in-app bug report to Adblock Plus. The problem is that the left-hand social media bar doesn't appear when adblock plus is enabled, so it isn't possible to email articles to anyone. The problem is from Fanboy's Social Blocking List (easylist.adblockplus.org) and the rule is '##.share_tools'. Disabling that rule for wsj.com is the proper fix. I have posted a report of this to the EasyList forum.
